Classified By: CLASSIFIED BY DCM MICHAEL A. BUTLER, FOR REASONS 1.4(B)
AND (D)
(S/NF) After consulting with the Economic, Political, RSO,
and Public Affairs sections, no open-source material
available indicates an attempt of Al-Manar to enter the cable
TV programming. A check of the local cable companies site
indicates a wide variety of international programming is
currently available: Italian, French, Bolivian, Mexican,
Spanish, Chilean, Taiwanese, American, Canadian, Mexican, and
German. No Arabic-language programming currently exists, but
a channel called "ARP" was recently removed from the service,
which had Arabic language programming.
